Donna McKenna

Donna McKenna is the author of "The $30 A Week Grocery Budget" Volumes I & II. In 1991 Donna was challenged by the author of the Tightwad Gazette to write a booklet with her money saving grocery tips. When it was published in that newsletter hundreds of orders came in. Soon newspapers and magazines across the country picked up Donna's story and she and her family had their "15 minutes" of fame. Hundreds of people wrote telling of their grocery budget successes using her booklet and Donna decided to add Volume II to incorporate new recipes and suggestions.

Donna now resides in Georgia where she teaches Math and Science at the high school level. Her four children are grown and run frugal households of their own. She updates her books with new recipes via her website dmckenna.webs.com.
